CDQ Lookup
What CDQ Lookup does
Search, resolve, enrich, and harmonize business partner data from authoritative sources — delivered straight into the systems your teams already use.
Lookup & Fetch
A two-step engine that first resolves who a partner is with fuzzy search (Levenshtein, Jaro-Winkler, QGram) and Bayesian scoring, then fetches the detailed record from the chosen open or commercial source — complete with match scores and source-reliability metadata.
Business Partner Data Pool
Unified access across dozens of countries and domains: national business registers, VAT/tax repositories (VIES and local), customs and EORI data, commercial providers like D&B and Moody's/BvD, Peppol directories, and more — with field-level provenance.
Golden Record generation
Selects the best base record, enriches and harmonizes it from multiple authoritative sources, and standardizes names, addresses, identifiers, and legal forms into one trusted profile — regenerated automatically as source data changes.
Native SAP MDG integration
Creates new business partners and enriches existing SAP records via the SAP ODM / One Domain Model for MDG Cloud Edition, with content packages, value mappings, and a bulk Job API for initial loads, M&A, and portfolio updates.
D&B connectivity
Integrates Dun & Bradstreet through the D&B Direct Plus interface for legal-entity detection, global corporate-hierarchy mapping, ultimate-parent identification, and continuous monitoring of qualified updates.
CDQ Intelligence source
A CDQ-managed layer that expands coverage into regions and industries underserved by official registers — raising match rates and adding corroborating reference points (best used in project mode, with review).
Why CDQ Lookup
The best available record, delivered where the data is created — not a single vendor feed or a periodic cleansing project.
Multi-source, not single-provider
Combines authoritative public registers, VAT and customs systems, multiple commercial providers, and CDQ Intelligence to deliver the best available record — reducing vendor lock-in and licensing dependency.
Embedded at the point of entry
Search, match, and enrichment plug directly into ERP, CRM, and MDM workflows (natively in SAP MDG), so records are correct at creation — not fixed later in big-bang projects.
Transparent, explainable matching
Every attribute carries its exact source and timestamp, with match scores and confidence indicators — auditable proof for compliance and explainable, AI-ready inputs.
Collaborative network effects
Through CDQ Data Sharing, each verified Golden Record can contribute anonymized, peer-validated improvements back to the network, continuously raising quality for all participants.
How CDQ Lookup works
From a keystroke to a governed, monitored Golden Record in four steps.
Lookup
Search by name, address, or identifiers across connected sources. The Search & Matching Engine applies configurable algorithms and Bayesian inference to score candidate matches.
Identity resolution
Fetch
Retrieve detailed records — legal names, addresses, VAT status, extended commercial insights — from the selected open or commercial sources, handling any transaction requirements for restricted data.
Data retrieval
Golden Record creation
Select the best base record, enrich it with missing identifiers, addresses, VAT and legal-form data, then harmonize and standardize it into one trusted, authoritative profile.
Harmonize
Embed & monitor
Deliver the record into SAP MDG or any system via API with full source-and-timestamp lineage, then continuously re-validate and regenerate it as source data changes.

Frequently asked questions
What buyers ask before adopting CDQ Lookup.
What is CDQ Lookup?
CDQ Lookup embeds real-time business partner search, matching, and enrichment into your operational workflows. It searches CDQ's Business Partner Data Pool, resolves the right entity with fuzzy matching and Bayesian inference, and harmonizes the best data from multiple authoritative sources into a single trusted Golden Record — so every new customer, supplier, or vendor record starts verified, complete, and compliant.
Who is it for?
Master data and data governance leads who need first-time-right records with documented lineage; procurement teams onboarding suppliers in minutes instead of days; finance teams validating VAT and bank details to prevent payment blocks; risk and compliance teams meeting due-diligence requirements; and enterprise architects and AI leads who need clean, API-ready data feeding their systems from day one.
How does it integrate with SAP and other systems?
CDQ Lookup integrates natively with SAP MDG Cloud Edition via the SAP ODM / One Domain Model, creating new business partners and enriching existing records with content packages, value mappings, and a bulk Job API. For any other ERP, CRM, MDM, or custom workflow, it plugs in through a headless, API-first interface — no heavy custom connectors required.
How do you ensure data control and auditability?
Every attribute carries its exact source and timestamp, with match scores and confidence indicators, giving you auditable lineage for compliance. Insights are proposed, never enforced — you keep full control over what enters your systems. Data lives in a secure, customer-specific Data Mirror, and network improvements are shared only with your consent, anonymized.
Which data sources does it cover?
The Business Partner Data Pool spans national business registers, VAT/tax repositories (VIES and local), customs and EORI reference data, GLEIF (LEI) data, commercial providers such as Dun & Bradstreet and Moody's/Bureau van Dijk, Peppol e-invoicing directories, and the CDQ Intelligence layer — with quota and credential management for restricted sources.
